MEDICAL DOCUMENT TRANSFER

Privacy is an important component of every business, but it is absolutely vital in the healthcare industry. Recognizing this, the US Government has spent considerable time and money to ensure that medical records enjoy the highest levels of privacy. Several government organizations, the HCFA and HPPA, have passed federal legislation in order to safeguard medical records. Now that strict security policies exist, there is great demand within the healthcare industry for software and technology that will satisfy the high standards established by the government.

Traditional businesses have embraced the Internet because its use has increased productivity and revenue. The healthcare field can also benefit from the Internet, namely by the increased efficiency and magnified security of medical record transfer. Paper based transfer of medical records is expensive, slow, lacks security, and is no longer sanctioned by the HPPA and HCFA. Digital transfer of information is the next step in the evolution of medical record exchange. The lone deficiency of digital transfer potentially lies in the area of security. Healthcare workers need a secure method of digital transfer that will ensure the privacy of medical documents and satisfy the regulations set forth by the HPPA and HCFA.
